I just listened to Obama talk about events in Egypt and it seemed to me he took the Muslim Brotherhoods side on this. He said they were put in power by a democratic election and never mentioned the abuses they were guilty of post election. It's almost like he has a kinship with Morsi and is upset because he was removed from power after trashing the countries constitution. Birds of a feather maybe?

King Barack has spoken and settled the matter for us.
Dude... the new Regime may have just slaughtered 1000's of people.
Do you not find that remotely disturbing?
Because facts in your universe don't seem to work in reality.
Fact of the matter is.
Whether we like it or not, Morsi was elected in a free and fair election and should have been allowed to complete his term...
This isn't about taking sides, this is about what's right.
And slaughtering 1000's of innocents for protesting against the wrongful deposing of a democratically elected leader is one of them.
Whether you like it or not, the MB came into power under Democratic elections. What conspired after that is an extreme tragedy by the MB to put in a un-democratic constitution in play I agree.
So now we have the military slaughtering 100s (probably thousands before this is through) because they protested the military takeover and basic revenge tactic against those they don't like.
The only position Obama can take IMO, is to back the hell off and let them be to their own slaughtering. The government before the MB was corrupt, the government of the MB was corrupt, and the government now is corrupt. Seems the best choice is to let them be and have no part in it one way or another.
You say "King" yet the GOP remain completely in support of it (by their lack of action). Sure, they give lip service against it, but they aren't doing anything about it either.

You don't kill hundreds of unarmed civilians - I don't care what they believe.

They were given warning after warning after warning, at some point the army had to act or they wouldn't be taken serious and there would be anarchy.

This toothless whine is getting old.
IF you Cons are half the patriots you claim-
IF the 2nd Amendment is to stop a tyrannical Government-
IF Obama has become a KING and not President-
IF 'Don't Tread on Me' means anything
IF the Tree of Liberty and all that-
Then why in the hell are ya'll just sitting infront of your computers???
Nut up or shut up. :roll:
fact is he isn't a King, he can't just do as he pleases and with Egypt there is a strong damned either way dynamic. Most Cons hated the MB gaining power, swore mightily that the Egyptian people can't govern themselves if they pick the MB. Quite a few were in favor of keeping a tyrant in place rather than a messy vote of the people. The Egyptian President started down a bad path and while the technique isn't sweetness and light the military has stepped in. Until some General/Colonel dissolves all civilian government and declares himself Grand Poo-Bah it isn't a coup.
Yes the MB and it's supporters are going to fight this as they should, you see there are still people on this planet who are willing to risk more than carpal tunnel if they feel their vote doesn't matter.
Instead of whining and snarky bashing, those who claim to be 'patriots' ought to be out the door and in the streets protesting a President turned King...
(or just drop the king crap and have honest discussions)eace

So do you support what the brotherhood did after they got power? At some point the military had to step in and put a stop to this before Egypt became Iran.
OK, Skippy, what about the "honest discussion" of PPACA (and adhering to the letter of that law), an actual federal budget (not more last minute CRs and debt "ceiling" increases) or of the current "dreamy" immigration law enforcement? The GOP has a majority in the House only, thus no power to stop Obama from doing pretty much as he pleases, with or without congressional approval.
No one seems to realize what this means for future democracy in Egypt, how can there be future elections that the people will respect if there's always the option to overthrow him.
The MB did a horrible job of running the country, they had no respect for the Constitution and even worse their supporters didn't seem to care much.
The problem with both sides is that neither respects the democratic process nor the limits of government imposed by their own Constitution. However, as many problems that were being caused by Morsi he should have been allowed to complete his term, the people would have seen what horrible rulers the MB are and they would have lost a massive amount of support, then hopefully a newer better President would come in once the people realized the MB would not help them.
However now, the MB are victims and martyrs, they are the oppressed, and now their supporters which remember are the majority in this country, are never going to leave them because they feel they've been wronged.

LMAO- oh you think the Supreme Court upholding ACA means nothing, and the CRs have been going on for over a generation now. Piss poor 'King' whine. But the point is IF you think Obama is a KING and your vote didn't count, you should stop whining on the interwebz and get on with it...
(now the more honest appraisal is the Cons just like over blown rhetoric and ain't about to do much more than whine and play the victim card)
